Site: http://www.thedonburihouse.com.au/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thedonburihouse.com.au
Scanned: 2026-11-13 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Donburi House is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by The Donburi House's website. It can read what The Donburi House offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through nowbookit.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://bookings.nowbookit.com/?accountid=84460eba-2c06-4f7a-ab74-4f290e596c77&venueid=1659&theme=light&colors=hex,607d8b (through nowbookit acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.thedonburihouse.com.au/
- Phone: +61494828711
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon closed; Tue–Sun 11:30–14:30, 17:00–21:00
- Prices: 35 prices on the site, the middle one A$24.90

- Gyoza Gyoza (340 m): https://directindex.org/r/gyozagyoza.com.au

- Akimitsu Australia (1.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/akimitsu.com.au

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.** (+3.7 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **35 prices on the landing page, the middle one A$24.90.** In Adelaide, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is A$21.00.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.
